Now select the track you want to record on. In this case we are going to record on
the first LOOP track in bank 1. (We will call this track “LOOP 1.”) So press TRACK
BANK button [1], and then hit the first (leftmost) LOOP pad. The brackets move to
this track to indicate that it is selected.

NOTE:
If you select a track to which a sample has already been assigned, the bracket display
will be

, and when you press the [OK] button the display will ask “REPLACE

SAMPLE?” If you execute sampling, the data in the sampling display will be overwritten
and lost. If you wish to keep the existing data, you should either select a different vacant
track, or save the song to disk etc. before you continue.

Press [OK] to register the track selection and move to the parameter and input-moni-
toring screen. You use this screen to adjust the three recording parameters and to
monitor and adjust the input level.

NOTE:
You can often reverse the action of the [OK] button by pressing the [CANCEL] button. In
this case, for example, you can press [CANCEL] to return to the

SELECT TRACK

screen.

▼ The screen presents three parameters, as shown below.

Let’s leave the frequency at

44K

and the resolution at

16BIT

, but let’s change the

format to “MONO L” (so that the SU700 will record a monaural sample from the
left channel of the stereo CD).
